Leftism Fears Jesus Christ
To destroy the West, leftists attack Christ.

On Easter, the holiest day of the year, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, and Treasure. Just saying those words out loud — Lord…Savior…Treasure — it is easy to recognize why modern socialist governments find Christianity so threatening. For if He is the King of kings, then all of our would-be masters in this world are pale imposters. If He alone is the Way and the Truth and the Life, then the marble halls of Big Government are just false paths leading to false idols that promise false salvation. If He is the only Treasure, then all of the things that governments do to make us envious, resentful, and hateful toward one another are tricks and lies meant to blind us from the Truth.
A Canadian writer named Dimpee Brar wrote a beautiful and insightful essay on this subject last month. In that essay, Brar draws attention to the more than eighty churches that have been set on fire across her country. She deftly describes how government-sponsored lies instigated these attacks on Christian houses of worship and argues persuasively that Marxist-globalist governments view Christ, Christians, and Christianity as foremost enemies.
Brar notes that the corporate news media routinely downplay these recurring acts of desecration by undercounting the number of churches set on fire and reporting on the crimes with intentionally vague language that obfuscates the perpetrators’ obvious motives. Canadian journalists report upon the church attacks as if they were “random accidents” happening inside of commercial businesses. She argues that each of these church fires should instead be seen as “episodes in a larger campaign” of a “war being waged against the West.”
Brar points out that all of this destruction is based upon the government-perpetuated lie that mass graves of indigenous children have been found on the grounds of Christian schools. The lie has been exposed, but Canadian politicians continue to defend the actions of arsonists as “understandable.” “To the Left…the truth is secondary to the permission it grants.” Hatred for Western civilization is disguised as “justice.” The attacks on Christian churches implicitly instruct the youngest generations that “nothing is sacred.” Canada’s prime ministers elevate grievances over God’s enduring Truth.
